Question

2 questions.
What is the solution to the equation 2(m-8)=4(m+6)?
m = ____?

The product of 9 and a number is 12 less than three times that number. What is the number?

Answer 1

expand LHS & RHS first

Answer 2

then shift the unknown m frm LHS to RHS

Answer 3

2(m-8)=4(m+6)?
Distribute on both sides
2m -16= 4m + 24
-2m -2m
-16 = 2m +24
-24 -24
-40 = 2m
/2m /2m
-20 = m

Answer 4

Good job @Christineluna

Answer 5

The product of 9 and a number is 12 less than three times that number.
9n -12 = 3n
-9n -9n
-12 = -6n
/-6 /-6
2= n
check:
9(2) -12= 3(2)
18 -12 = 6
6=6
